A cheeky wee red Hobgoblin for Beer Saturday
Now that winter is approaching so is the need for a pickme up in the form of a pleasant beer or ale.
Well that is the official line that I am sticking to!
So with that in mind, when I go to shop at the supermarket now, I tend to pop in a cheeky couple of bags into my bag.
This was the turn for Ruby Beer.
It is one of my favourites and has a gorgeous taste!
Hobgoblin Ruby Red it really is ...
A Devilishly Rich & Fruity Gem
of a beer!
It also has one of my favourite bottle caps of all time!
What do you think of the hobgoblin, he looks more like a cheeky charming rascal to me!
The beer in the glass pose...
It does have a Ruby Red colour and a velvety texture as it flows down your throat!
Who brews Hobgoblin Ruby Red?
Answer ....
Wychwood Brewery was a brewery and pub chain based in Witney, Oxfordshire, England. Wychwood got bought by Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC)...
From what I can see they closed Wychwood Brewery last year and moved production to the massive Marston's brewery in Stoke...
This is what you see on the hobgoblin site and tells you sweet fa about where it is brwered or its history. That is pretty sad really...
I must admit I do love the graphics and the cheeky wee hobgoblin is quite cool looking!
What is Ruby red like
So Ruby Red is traditionally craft brewed with Chocolate & Crystal malts and a blend of Styrian, Goldings & Fuggles hops.
This produces a full-bodied, Ruby beer that delivers a delicious chocolate toffee malt flavour. Top that off with a moderate bitterness and overall fruitiness and you have the perfect beer for a mischievous character like me!
It is quite hard to capture the colour, but it really does have a rich ruby colour to it.
A liquid legend, this ruby-red gem is an epic blend of hops. Expect delicious toffee flavours and a full-bodied finish of figs, raisins and dates.
It’s mercilessly moreish, so consider yourself warned.
When you take a sip to your lips you are not disappointed. It is like having red velvet cake in a glass!
Food intermission
The ruby red was an accompaniment to pizza!
Mrs T said she sees a new pizza place when comes home on the bus and could we try it.
Well it was the perfect excuse for me to try out these ruby red beers from Hobgoblin!
We got a special, two pizzas and garlic cheese with free chips for a crackign good price!
Can you guess the two different pizza types?
This was my plate with the full monte plus the delicious Hobgoblin ruby red!

Have a nice weekend too.
Oh, there are truly red beers. And green ones too, but here's the red lager Červený král (Red King) - it's just herbs, no additives and artificial colors:
Being a Rangers fan you will not get me drinking a green beer 🤣
Now Červený král does seem familiar,I am sure I have drunk that over in your neck of the woods.
Wasn't that Little Red Riding Hood? ;)
Pizza with beer, never thought about that combination before.
The hobgoblin looks like a little crow 😂😂😂
The ruby red is good. Haha he is a little crow!
😂😂😂😂😂
I might just find my way to you for pizza. Then, back to Nigeria 😅
hehe that is allowed!
😅😅
Cheers! I have already tasted Hobgoblin ruby beer, and it was good. The pizza looks good, too! 🍻😋
Yeah the ruby red is a nice solid pint! Pizza worked and went well 🍻🍻
If the taste is tofu dry then probably different from every beer taste I've gotten. This one has a different color too bad i won't find one over here
It is a very nice tasty, it is almost a bit chocolatey and smooth!
Hmm now thats a beer i will love to dry out
Hehehe, it's a rainy morning here. I would like the pizza but the beer maybe I set aside first 😁.
Well I know you ate something fun today 😜
Hehehe😬😁
Gotta love a Silver Blogger!
Hobgoblins.... With a name like that, you'd think the level would be 15-30%😂
Hehe you would think so!
😆 I kinda wanted to taste that beer! Love the color and I wish i could get my hands on one of those 😊
Actually being a big coffee fan, you would like it. The colour is cool as is the velvety smooth taste...
Well maybe Mac needs to ask Santa 😀
Now that is a !BEER
I always thought hobgoblin was from Quebec like Maudite and Fin du Monde. Always enjoyed it when I had one but i can’t recall seeing the ruby one. Colour and taste profile sure do look good. I might search the store for some here this week.
Pizza and beer make everything better!
